Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012069862A1] Lifespan of embedded flash memory (12) in an electronic device may be extended and efficient use of the MLC capabilities of the memory may be made by implementing an enhanced partition (26) that stores content that is dynamically adjusted according to the memory usage of the device. The enhanced partition may be used to store data that has a relatively high frequency of updating as measured, for example, by write operations to corresponding memory addresses. In one embodiment, the size of the enhanced partition also may be adjusted in accordance with memory usage, such as basing the size of the enhanced partition on the frequently updated addresses.
